It's that time of year again, when thunderstorms echo through the rolling mountains and valleys of the Appalachians. The old trees on a hilltop stand against a dark sky as the wind builds before the storms. Rolling hills are a fun subject, and once one has visited this part of the country, the place will stay with you for a lifetime.

About The Artist

Matthew Hannum, landscape artist: My artwork generally focuses on the forgotten corners of nature where we can all easily find ourselves – a winding road through a local forest, or a cloudscape above rolling hills. When adding human elements, I tend to keep them simple and straightforward as a reminder that mankind’s works are only temporary, even in the local environment. Much of my work is heavily influenced by the landscape of the eastern United States, with occasional trips out to the mountains of the west – this ties into my belief of painting what you know since it will come across as more genuine.
